Hi Will,
The problem with repairs is that most folk won`t pay
the labour charges for a proper job with spliced in
re-enforcements and a good re-finish. Hence there are dozens of
poorly repaired necks around.
That, and the fact that not too many "repairmen" really have a clue how to do their job right. I have and will continue to refuse to repair a headstock unless the customer is willing to pay my price, and so many go elsewhere. The plain and simple fact is that there is no such thing as a "cheap" headstock repair. If I repair a headstock, I have to guarantee the work. If I compromise on the price and quality, that guitar has almost a 100% chance of coming back at me, and so I won't do it.
